Houston Dynamo FC Secures 2026 MLS SuperDraft Pick from San Diego FC
On December 18, 2025, Houston Dynamo FC made a notable transaction with San Diego FC. The team exchanged its right of first refusal for defender Kieran Sargeant. In return, Houston will receive a third-round pick in the 2026 MLS SuperDraft.
Details of the Transaction
- Teams Involved: Houston Dynamo FC and San Diego FC
- Player Involved: Kieran Sargeant
- Compensation: 2026 MLS SuperDraft third-round pick and potential $50,000 in General Allocation Money (GAM)
- Additional Terms: Houston retains a sell-on percentage for Sargeant
Kieran Sargeant spent the 2025 season on loan with Lexington SC, a team in the USL Championship. Houston Dynamo declined to exercise Sargeant’s option for the 2026 season, paving the way for this exchange.
Implications for Houston Dynamo FC
This deal allows Houston to stockpile resources for the upcoming SuperDraft. The team’s strategy appears focused on maximizing its assets while moving forward without Sargeant.
As the Dynamo prepare for the 2026 season, this pick could provide valuable opportunities to strengthen the squad. The potential influx of GAM signifies further investment possibilities, depending on the fulfillment of specific incentives.
